Bates Road 4WD Trail
Bates Road trail area near Rutherford Road, Tillamook State Forest, OR
About this trail
Bates Road is part of Tillamook State Forest's designated 4WD network near Rutherford Road. The community submission describes a mix of easier forest-road travel and narrower, uneven sections. Its historical photograph shows several off-road vehicles on a wooded dirt track. Surface conditions and difficulty can change with rain, erosion and forest operations, so do not assume that the whole route is easy or that old clearing descriptions still apply. Follow the signed trail and respect barriers and closures. The pin marks a trail-area location, not a highway entrance or staging lot. Carry the current ODF map and required OHV permit, and check trail notices and fire restrictions before travelling.
